Here I am, aimlessly wandering through the forums. I don't want to read and respond to the same topics. Tell me something truly interesting about yourselves....

    I like to learn random and semi-useless to useful skills based on a small interest in them.

    A few that I have learned:

    Cooking
    Origami
    Woodworking
    Juggling

    Up next is:

    Lockpicking

    Lock picking is fun, tough when you start out though.

    Headstones? Can you make me one out of obsidian that says "i'll take two, they're small"? In reference to espresso shots....

    Yeah that is what I hear. I want to pick up a book and a half dozen padlocks of differing manufacturers and just have at it until I master it. I'd try safecracking as well, but that could get expensive. :laugh:

    If it can be etched, it can be made! Wonder how much an obsidian headstone would cost.

    Is it morbid that I conjur up possible headstones in my mind for people I don't like?

    I'd say check out YouTube. They have some pretty good instructional videos. And if you buy a kit it should come with a book on basics.

    I treat water and waste water for a living. I am useful. I can purify drinking water myself at home if the need ever arises.

    Oh, other skills that I want to master are survival skills. After locking picking I want to try:

    Firestarting with various materials
    Snare trapping
    Foraging in various environments.

    Once the "Cosby Show" went off the air, I saw no reason for TV to continue. Plus, I have exhausted every documentary related to serial killers and television evangelists.

    Get a few tension wrenches, cause chances are you'll probably break one in the beginning. lol
    Other than that, not much.
